I can’t recommend going to a city hospital here. Doctors are lassy and just go through the motions of a diagnosis without really listening to the patient. Instead I recommend going to a small private clinic. Much better service.
Japanese hospital doctors are notorious for over prescribing medication, and my case was no different. But what made maters worse is that he gave me the wrong medication. For one he gave me a kind of cough syrup mixture witch should never be given to an asthma patient ( a treatment from 20 years ago). I questioned the pharmacist on this but she had answers for me, just a smile and said it is what the doctor ordered. Secondly as I tried to translate and got more help from friends I learned that one drug was Bronchial dilator (good) and another drug was a vessel constrictor. Well, taking two drugs, one that constricts veins and another that dilates veins can’t be a good combo in anyone’s books. Neh? You don’t need to be a doctor to figger that one out.
So I went to a private clinic that only took a few moments, my blood pressure was taken, my blood-Oxygen count was taken I was put on Bronchial dilator ventilator for few minutes and prescribe two inhalers. One inhaler for was a bronchial dilator and the other was a steroid, I’m getting better every day despite the poor air quality.
THIS IS A PICTURE I TOOK WITH MY PHONE OF ALL THE MEDICATION THE HOPITAL DOCTOR GAVE ME FOR AN ASTHMA ATTACK.
NOTE THE ONE VERY SMALL INHALER.
This doctor my be getting a new car from the drug company or something.
